Isolate the damaged area of tape. 2. Cut out the damaged section by making a 45 deg cut 1/2 inch to either side of it. 3. Put the damaged cassette aside for a moment, and cut yourself a small sliver of Scotch brand invisible tape(preferably the glossy type, which is smoother and will negotiate the capstans & heads). The piece should be no longer than 1/3" and slightly less than 1/8" thick - remember what it's being used to hold together here. 4. Line up both 45deg ends of the tape as evenly as possible and hold on a clean surface(blank piece of paper or clean cloth), and gingerly place the piece of invisible tape over the splice. Press down firmly to seal the splice in place - DON'T rub!! Flip over the splice and place a similar sized piece of invisible tape on the opposite side. Press down to seal the whole shebang. 5. Grab a butter knife or writing instrument thick enough and carefully spool excess tape & the splice back up into the cassette shell. I've rarely every had these jam, and typically I notice a slight degrade in sound quality/volume leading up to the splice. Or if it's a new cassette or one you don't play often, you will hear the affect of a skip on a record, and not much else. -CC |
